The 'Revolution' is officially named

Not sure what to make of this.

For those Flash challenged, Nintendo announced the official name of the 'Revolution'. It's (drum roll please): Wii.

Why are product code names always cooler then the actual final name of a product?

Major Nelson

Wii? Why not Revolution? :? Does Wii mean Revolution in Japenese?

Sigh, they always change things before the release dates.

Exactly, anyway they will stand no chance in console war with that name.

Jokes about this next gen console. "Anyway I need to Wii. How 'bout some Wii. Dude, I steeped in Wii. Dude, I broke the Wii."

I personally dont really like nintendo anymore. I only really liked Turok but that came out for PS2. I only play my 64, the game cube is kinda stupid.

An example of how the name will be used:
"I've got to go wee, I mean we have to, I mean I got to go play with my wee......... I mean I um I.. got to go play with my Wii"

This. Is. Pathetic:

It took them ONE WHOLE YEAR to think of a name like THAT?!

it means
"Wii has a distinctive 'ii' spelling that symbolizes both the unique controllers and the image of people gathering to play. And Wii, as a name and a console, brings something revolutionary to the world of video games that sets it apart from the crowd."

Dude, nobody will know what it means. I already was shocked about the name. I mean, nobody will buy a console that has the name "Wii".

It is so stupid, I mean, why break their convention.
NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) - Self Titled
Super NES - Self Titled/Explanatory
Nintendo 64 - Explanatory
Nintendo Gamecube - Short and to the point
Nintendo DS - Explanatory
Nintendo Wii - What the fuck?!

Double you tee eff!

This name is so freaking retarded.

All joking aside, this is why Microsoft is more superior at game systems compared to Nintendo. MICROSOFT CAN THINK OF NAMES! they dont just put 3 letters together like:

The XBOX ujk
or
The XBOX yhf
or
The XBOX sla

Its so retarded rofl

It's like they are trying to push themselves out of the console war and in the game devolpers that used to be console makers, it seems like the old video game companies end up like Sega and Atari.
